Hello -- it's been a while since I've posted as I've been off to visit family in Victoria, B.C. where they were enjoying an Indian summer. I seem to have brought back all that lovely heat though as our own autumn has been hotter than usual, our usual rainy season delayed by months.
Rainy Day Blues is a triple-panel canvas, as much a diversion from my usual tropical renditions as is
Blue Riot. I was experimenting with acrylics this time and wanted to create something from my daughter's youth -- that glorious time on the cusp of puberty where innocence still reigns supreme. Yes, those are fairies spreading a magic sleeping potion on her so she can dream the dismal, rainy afternoon away!
I'll get back to my tropical themes very soon -- until then take care -- E.
Happy Sunday to all -- These two pelicans seemed to me to be having a dispute, maybe over who got the better post to stand on? Whatever the case, their lively chatter inspired me to photograph and paint them against their intensely hued background. 
Hi to all -- more on the flamingo theme; they truly are amazing creatures. I snapped a few photos of them some time ago at the X-Caret eco-part on the Mayan Riviera, about an hour's drive from my home, and have suddenly been inspired to paint them.
